This blog outlines the essential building blocks of a disaster recovery plan, emphasizing the importance of defining scope, recovery time objective (RTO), and recovery point objective (RPO) to prepare for various types of disasters. Part 1 of this series starts with the basics: What? and Why? 👉 Read the full blog: https://bit.ly/4nazBgE #DisasterRecovery #BusinessContinuity #DatabaseManagement #DataProtection

True resilience starts with reliable data. On this International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, we’re reminded to “Fund Resilience, Not Disasters.” In our latest article, we explore how geospatial insights can turn data into action, informing smarter policies and mitigating long-term disaster risk. We’re proud to join governments and organizations around the world working to build a more resilient future. https://lnkd.in/e-VXMsTF

In 2024 alone, natural disasters affected more than 165 million people worldwide. Recovery often takes years, but it doesn’t have to. AI-powered storm assessments are compressing emergency response timelines, guiding resources with precision and restoring public trust. This isn’t just innovation; it’s a new blueprint for global disaster resilience.

𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙃𝙖𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙩: 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙈𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙄𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙀𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 When we model hazards, we’re describing what could happen. But impact assessment tells us what that really means for people, assets, and systems. Too often, projects stop at the hazard stage — ground shaking maps, flood depths, return periods — and call it “risk analysis.” In reality, that’s just the beginning. ⸻ 🌍 Hazard ≠ Impact • A 7.0 earthquake in the desert ≠ a 7.0 beneath a dense city • The same flood depth ≠ the same damage in two neighborhoods • The same hazard level ≠ the same recovery path That’s because exposure, vulnerability, and resilience define how a hazard becomes a disaster. ⸻ 📊 Bridging the Gap To make risk analysis truly useful, we must connect: 🔹 Hazard → How strong is the event? 🔹 Exposure → Who and what is in harm’s way? 🔹 Vulnerability → How fragile are they? 🔹 Impact → What are the losses, downtime, and recovery needs? ⸻ 💡 The takeaway: Hazard models tell us where nature may strike. Impact models tell us how society will respond. And resilience begins when we understand both. ⸻ 📣 Are your risk studies connecting hazard and impact? Let’s talk about bridging that gap — from data to decisions. #Resilience #SafetyDesign #EarthquakeEngineering #DisasterRiskReduction #SeismicResilience #RiskAssessment #InfrastructureResilience #BuildingSafety #UrbanResilience #EngineeringForResilience #EarthquakeEngineering

What would happen if your business had to close its doors for a week? Would you be ready to bounce back? Being prepared isn’t just about bad weather. From unexpected power outages to data loss, a Disaster Preparedness Plan protects your business, your team, and your future. Learn the essential steps of drafting the plan and executing it when it matters. https://cstu.io/3c0e92 #DisasterRelief #NaturalDisasters #BostonBusiness #BostonWeather

Today is the International Disaster Risk Reduction Day (#DRRday) This year’s theme is “Fund Resilience, Not Disasters.” Investing in risk reduction measures pays off. The key is to understand the risks we face, not only the obvious ones, such as frequent floods, but also those that lie ahead. Effective risk analysis and assessment must include a structured foresight process to anticipate emerging and future risks. This week, we will launch the project Future Urban Risks in the Baltic Sea Region. Over the next 18 months, six cities across the Baltic Sea Region, Riga, Tallinn, Klaipėda, Gdansk, Umeå, and Ystad, together with the Union of the Baltic Cities and the Nordic Urban Resilience Institute, will collaborate through a structured foresight process to identify emerging and “beyond-the-horizon” risks from a local perspective. #FundedbySI

Build Update We stepped back to restructure the PCI gen infrastructure for resilience. That took some time, but now new datasets are being added faster and more efficiently. The latest: - Ofcom mobile coverage - Flood zones And there’s more to come.

📍Step 4: Hazard Mitigation Planning Part of the Resiliency Roadmap Series with Outsmart Disaster + CalOSBA You’ve identified risks and mapped your operations, now it’s time to reduce the impact before disaster strikes. Step 4 guides you through building safety, inventory risks, and mitigation strategies to help your business recover faster. 🏗️ Ask yourself: • Is my building safe for earthquakes or floods? • Can I operate elsewhere if needed? • Should I stock more essential inventory? 🛠️ Includes: • FORM 8: Hazard Mitigation Plan • Tips for securing equipment, utilities, and backups 📘 Start Step 4 today: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gNHSpQaY Mitigation today = smoother recovery tomorrow. #PreparednessMonth #OutsmartDisaster #CalOSBA #SmallBizReady #BusinessResilience #DisasterPreparedness #ResiliencyRoadmap

🌍 On International Disaster Reduction Day, we’re reminded that resilience isn’t built in a moment — it’s forged through preparation, action and recovery. In her latest article, Caterpillar Foundation President Asha Varghese shares how the Foundation’s four-phase approach to disaster resilience — strengthening infrastructure, preparedness, response, and recovery — is helping communities around the world face the future with confidence. 🔗 Read Asha’s full article to see how we’re redefining disaster preparedness: https://lnkd.in/eUnkPVH5

Weather can’t be controlled, but your level of preparedness can. ⛈️ For property managers, resilience starts with a plan: preventive maintenance, informed communication, and the right technology to act fast when every minute counts. We outline best practices to help you build resilience across every level of your operation, from emergency planning to documentation and recovery. Because preparedness isn’t reactive, it’s strategic.
